We have been on at least 6 other tours in Salem over the years and was very excited for this one. While we enjoy Salem , the history and Mystery, we were very disappointed in this Tour. The tour guide was very hard to hear, even after told several times that we couldn’t hear her ( even with her microphone on) , she kept going off on little tangents and the stories she told were average.

Paige our tour guide was so energetic and so informative it was amazing, she gave us a very vivid picture of what life was like. Her stories and information were informative and painted a very vivid picture of what was happening. She had us laughing the whole time. She acted out the stories to the best of her ability and made the experience that much better. I would definitely recommend going on this tour with her if you can! This was the best tour I have been on in a very long time.

Hi! Thank you so much taking the time to leave a review. I’m so thrilled to hear that you had a wonderful time with Paige on our tour. She is a phenomenal storyteller and historian. We definitely recommend doing the History & Hauntings tour, next time you are in town. Please come back and see us again soon! All the best, Beth and Paige
